Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Two bugs:
1) upgrade to the .4 release killed X. The nvidia splash screen would
load, and then the system would hard lock. The last log messages (in
syslog) had to do with ramping AGP up to 8x...is that done on X init?? I
can debug this if you need, since now I have a fix path (I downgraded
back to 10.1 to get into x again).
2) (this is dupe, but worth mentioning again) the upgrade nuked my
xorg.conf with an autogenerated one. This is just unacceptable. If you
search ubuntuforums.org you'll find hundreds of people customizing their
xorg.conf -- this is necessary, since the defaults do not perform. The
defaults in fact totally break my system, since I have a triple
head/xinerama/two card setup. You need to figure out some way of
seperating user-modifiable stuff from stuff that can be safely upgraded.
Alternatively the upgrade routine should diff the existing xorg.conf
with a proposed xorg.conf, and notify the user.
